About IWCWT

A Grassroots NGO for Women Empowerment and Child Welfare in India

Indian Women and Child Welfare Trust (IWCWT) is a registered charitable trust based in Uttam Nagar, New Delhi. We work on education, women's empowerment, child welfare, health and relief for disadvantaged families, and we serve everyone without discrimination by religion, caste, gender or community.

Our approach is simple: help a woman earn and she lifts her household; help a child learn and the cycle of poverty starts to break.

Our Mission

Empower women, protect children and support disadvantaged communities through education, healthcare and livelihoods.

Our Vision

A society where every woman and child has the resources, respect and opportunity for a better life.
